Mixed Partitions and mount error - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi guys could really do with some help.
When i go into CWM (v5.5.0.4) and 'choose zip from sdcard' it takes me to my internal sd and when i 'choose zip from internal sdcard' it takes me to my external card.
Ive not worried about this too much until i tried to update to OmegaROM v33.2, i did a full wipe (using instruction http://checkrom.com/threads/full-wipe-the-correct-way.432/)
Now when i go into CWM and 'choose zip from internal sdcard' i get a message E:Can't mount /emsc/
Please can i have some input into whats going on?

Try another recovery .CF 6.4

[Q] CWM can't mount error

Good afternoon,
I am having a big problem with my white Samsung Galaxy I9100 S2. I haven't sd card, but my internal memory is 11.5 GB. So I would like to install CWM. When I root via CF-root I have CWM 4. Everything is fine and I can to install zip via recovery boot.
But when I flash other kernel with CWM 5 (with blue text) I am getting an error when I try to install zip via recovery boot. Error says that E:can't mount /sdcard/.
So where is the problem? I have tried everything: about 10 different kernels, different roms, format internal memory, use ROM manager and so on. When the CWM is 5 it doesn't work, I get an error. But when the CWM is 4 everything is fine.
I am waiting your answers.
Thank you in advance!
Regards,
MySelf
Still waiting your answers..
So basicly if you use CF-root everything is fine. Then what is the problem? Where did you get CWM 5 from?
The problem is that the CWM5 doesn't work. Read my first post.
CWM5 I got with a kernel from xda forum.
Again: the problem is that if I have CWM5 I'm getting error which is saying that E:can't mount /sdcard/ and I can't install zip in recovery mode.

MySelf
Yes I can understand that. But why do you need CMW5?
If it comes with an other rom, I then can understand that you have no choice. But if CWM4 works, then there is no point in using CWM5.
Choose internal sdcard, not sdcard.

It comes with other rom and kernels. I would like to use other rom (not SGS2 stock) with other kernels and I can't, because I am getting error.

How to choose it? It is set by default I think, because I can't find anywhere where I could choose CWM usage internal sdcard, not sdcard.

In newer versions of CWM recovery, (such as 5.0.2.7 in Siyah kernel) after you select an option like "install zip from sdcard", there should be multiple options:
choose zip from sdcard
apply /sdcard/update.zip
toggle script asserts
choose zip from internal sdcard
On a stock ROM "from sdcard" refers to /sdcard/external_sd (i.e. a physical microSD) and "from internal sdcard" refers to /sdcard (i.e. internal storage).
Before installing zip try this:
go to mounts and storage
mount data (thats mean change it from mount /data to unmount /data)
and so on for system.
then install your zip file.

First time root phone not booting to ROM

I tried using hiemdall suite to flash my kernel entered the command hiemdall suite flash --kernel zImage everything worked as far as installing the CWM and I can boot to the CWM recovery screen and download mode but not directly to a ROM i get stuck at the yellow triangle screen. I put cyogenmod 9 on my sd card and named it update.zip then went to recovery mode and mounted my sd card. I selected to option apply update from /sdcard/update.zip and it didnt work any ideas to get me back on track?

Get into CWM, hit install zip from SDcard and then if you put it in internal storage go to choose zip from internal sdcard and if you put it on your regular sd card choose zip from sdcard. Then just find the .zip file and select it. After its flashed wipe data.

...It's wherever you dragged it to. Check internal and external SDCard in Recovery sometimes they get mixed up

First try what ninja said...in CWM try both "install zip from sd card" and "install zip from internal sd card".
If you still cannot find it, it sounds like you just misplaced the zip file. Try downloading it again, make sure you place it in the root of the external sd card, and then from CWM select install zip from sd card.

From a quick google search it seems you are going to have to restart the process all over again! (YAY!!)

Android Revolution HD 7.0.0 Galaxy S3: how install???

I've just installed a few roms before this but Android Revolution HD 7.0.0 is givin'g me a lot of trouble.
First i've followed the instructions:
Download ROM and place it on your virtual SD card
Download "Super Wipe" script & place it on your SD card (optionally if coming from earlier version of my ROM, obligatory if coming from stock or other custom ROM)
Boot your phone in recovery mode (vol up + home + power)
In main menu, select "install zip from sdcard"
Select "choose zip from sdcard" and browse to the location of "Super Wipe" script
UNTIL HERE! I've have the zip rom on INTERNAL and EXTERNAL sd but can't install any of them.
Anyone can help?

Do the following:
1. Obtain root, see item 1 in my signature and flash the latest CF-Root
2. Make a CWM backup after the phone rebooted
3. Download ARHD 7.0.0 and place it on the external sd card, copy importants folders/files from the internal sdcard to the external sd card.
4. In CWM: do a data/factory reset, wipe cache and dalvik cache, in mounts and storage format system, cache and data.
5. Flash ARHD and choose full wipe and backup efs in Aroma, install the rom and tweaks you want and install.
6. Reboot and you`re done

[SOLVED] Can't mount sdcard while JB/CM10 install

Following the guide everything went good until i came to the point of installing the rom from the sdcard.
When I try to choose zip from sdcard, CWM says "E:can't mount /sdcard/"
Someone told me to format the card with SD Formatter, I've done it but it didn't solve anything. :crying:
I'm completely stuck now, anyone can help me, please?

Did you select choose zip from external sdcard? or just from sdcard?
I choose mine from external sdcard.

In CWM v6.1.0.4 downloaded with Alpha 2 it does not have external sdcard option.
I resolved with CWM v6.1.0.5 which comes with Alpha 3. :good:
Used Sideload option, since it doesn't see any external sdcard as well!

Thanks alot! This forum is the best.
Such a mess
The clockworkMod image 6 SIMPLY does not work at all, you must flash the old (almost useless) version 5 , almost is because cannot mount the micro sd or usb or sd, ONLY roms inside the machine.
IF all this forum works this way i better no search here.
